During the last few weeks I’ve been talking with you about suicide, depression, and depressive symptoms. These are truly hard-hitting topics for discussion, and I take each of them very seriously! People I know, who have been diagnosed with these mental disorders, which include anxiety, anger, fear, obsessive compulsive disorder, and self-esteem issues, live a […]

In my opinion too many antidepressants are handed out like candy! These are some serious medications, with not just very frustrating side-effects; but also with potential fatal consequences!

Montana has horrible statistics to prove that the rate of suicides is out of control! One of many thoughts about this is that No One was born to take their own life. Something must have happened to cause this much hopelessness and despair! It’s one thing if someone comes of age and, because of a […]

Did you know that in the year 1960, in Iraq, a 60,000-year old Neanderthal man was uncovered? He had been buried with eightspecies of plants, seven of which are still used for medicinal purposes today! In 1991, the mummified remains of the Ice Man were discovered in the ice of the Austrian Alps. He had died […]

Later other derivatives from opium […]

The results are important for anybody dealing with blood sugar issues. See, Triglycerides measure the amount of sugars in the blood stream that were not absorbed by our cells, because […]

The most important blood test for Diabetes-II is Hemoglobin A1c, or A1c for short. This test measures the amount of sugar in the blood over a three month period. Blood cells live about three months; and this test will show any changes in diet and lifestyle over that time period. So, other than checking one’s Fasting […]

The word diabetes has been brought up a lot during the last decade for good reason. However, it seems this disease is not taken very seriously, both by the public and medical professionals. Prevalence of diabetes has been increasing steadily for the past three decades. Currently about 422 million people worldwide have this very debilitating […]

To finish my mini-series on Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, I want to highlight something that many of you may not think about: the effect hormonal deficiencies can have on bone health. As far as women are concerned, your body and mind may experience some serious changes when the ovaries stop producing their monthly hormones. During menopause, you lose your […]

Last week I started my discussion about the epidemic of OSTEOPENIA and OSTEOPOROSIS in our country. There are several steps to consider if you have concerns about your bones. First, make sure you have enough stomach acid. And there are several ways to improve that. All the calciums we consume need stomach acid to become absorbable. Secondly, […]
